In the cement industry, in order to reduce CO₂ emissions, technology for raw materials substitution and conversion, technology for improving process efficiency of utilizing low-carbon new heat sources, and technology for collecting and recycling process-generated CO₂ are being developed. In this study, we conducted a basic experiment to contribute to the development of CSC that can store CO₂ as carbonate minerals among process-generated CO₂ capture and recycling technologies. Three types of CSC clinker with different SiO₂/(CaO+SiO₂) molar ratios were prepared with the clinker raw material formulation, and the characteristics of the clinker were analyzed. As a result of analysis and observation of CSC clinker, wollastonite and rankinite were formed. In addition, as a result of the carbonation test of the CSC paste, it was confirmed that calcite was produced as a carbonation product. The lower the SiO₂/(CaO+SiO₂) molar ratio in the CSC clinker chemical composition, the lower the wollastonite production amount, and the higher the rankinite production amount. And the amount of calcite production increased with the progress of carbonation of the CSC paste specimen. It is judged that rankinite is more reactive in mineralizing CO₂ than wollastonite.

Labor shortages are a serious problem for Korea's construction industry. The problem is both quantitative and qualitative. There is a shortage in supply as due to a decrease in the influx of new labor, and existing workers are less productive as they age. The problem will only get worse as more and more major public projects are being planned. Options for increasing the labor supply are somewhat limited, and thus efforts need to be made to adopt new technologies that can improve the productivity and efficiency of field work and their processes. This paper introduces seven innovation technologies that have the best potential to increase productivity and thus reduce the burden of labor shortage problems. These include 1) Substitution by use of robotics and automation, 2) development and applications of Innovative materials to reduce on site field work, 3) increase in productivity through the implementation of Information Technology, 4) improved productivity through the application of modules, and prefabrication, 5) prevention of rework and redesign, 6) diversification of labor by integrating labor skills, and 7) improved productivity by standardizing site processes.

최근 정부의 녹색성장 정책, 고유가시대 도래, 온실가스 감축 의무화, 폐기물 해양배출 강화 등으로 인해 폐기물의 자원화에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 국내에서 발생되는 가연성폐기물을 기존의 감량처리 대신 가스화 공정을 적용하여 합성가스로 전환할 경우 환경친화적이고 고효율의 에너지 회수가 가능하게 된다. 폐기물 가스화를 통해 얻어진 합성가스는 난방, 가스엔진 및 연료전지를 이용한 전기생산과 DME, SNG등의 합성연료유 제조에 활용될 수 있으며, WGS 반응 및 PSA 방법에 의해 수소를 얻을 수 있다. 이와 더불어 최근에는 메탄올과 CO의 합성을 통해 얻어지는 초산제조 공정에서의 원료로서 폐기물 가스화를 통한 합성가스 내의 CO를 활용하는 방안이 연구되고 있다. 이는 기존 초산 제조공정에서 CO를 생산하기 위해 소모되는 고가의 석유계(납사, 중질유) 원료를 절감할 수 있어 경제적으로 장점을 가지고 있다. 이를 위해서는 폐기물 가스화에서 발생된 합성가스 내에 포함된 금속성분, 분진등의 오염물질의 농도가 후단공정에 영향을 주지 않아야 하며, 초산제조공정의 안정적인 운전을 위해 합성가스의 CO, $H_2$ 조성 변화폭이 ${\pm}5%$이하로 유지되어야 하는 기술적인 문제를 해결해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폐기물 가스화 시스템의 운전특성을 통해 환경성, 기술성, 경제성을 분석 평가 할 수 있도록 구성된 분석 프레임워크를 이용하여, 초산제조공정에 적용하기위한 상용급 폐기물 가스화 시스템의 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

In this study, it investigates the highly controversial issue "low carbon car subsidy". Through the policy's intent, purpose, and necessity, it aims to present alternatives for automotive industry development. Introducing the low carbon car subsidy will bring a huge change to the vehicle purchase practices by changing vehicle purchase cost. It expects that this change will reduce greenhouse gas emission from vehicles. For successful settlement of the system, it shall set up the target sections for subsidy and levy appropriately in order to get the nation's consensus. Additionally, it has to conduct sufficient reviews the measures such as adjustment to the existing auto tax, divided payments of burden charge, etc before enforcing the system. In terms of the automobile industry, it must do their level best in technical development in order to meet the carbon dioxide emission level of imported cars until the enforcement. Also, the government has to strengthen its support to the industry.

Recently, researches on High-Volume Fly ash Cement(HVFC), which is replacing high portion of cement to fly ash, have been actively conducted to reduce $CO_2$ formation. Though HVFC has various advantages, low strength development in early ages is pointed out as the biggest problem in the application of fly ash. In order to overcome such limitations, this study investigated the hydration and compressive strength characteristics of HVFC paste depending on the fly ash content with the mixing ratio varying from 0 to 80 %. Experimental results show that the HVFC paste with low water-binder ratio can overcome the limitation of low compressive strength at early ages. Also, from the result of heat flow delay, 50 % of fly ash weight ratio was the critical point of the filler effect.

The current 7th Curriculum require elementary students to participate in an independent computer education class one time per week through means of discretion activity. However a national standard of this educational process has yet to be established, which has made regional provincial and city offices of education to choose textbooks for this purpose by discretion, that showed difference in quality, in operating education curriculums related to computer education for each classes in school such as continuing the repetitive contents without any rank or system. Also informatization education, which is one of national policies, might develop educational unbalance to young children who are to become the main characters in the future information society, due to excessive emphasis on aspect of using computer, which develops education mainly based on learning functions of applicable software. Therefore, we are proposing a discretion activity education curriculum model for utilization of computer education in elementary school which is showing regional difference based on former studies. This study will be helpful in substantiating of computer education in elementary schools in the future.

Thie study presents the biomass-derived jet (bio-jet) fuel production technologies for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction in aviation sector. The aviation sector is responsible for the 2% of the world anthropogenic $CO_2$ emissions and the 10% of the fuel consumption: airlines' costs for fuel reach 30% of operating costs. In addition, the aviation traffic is expected to double within 15 years from 2012, while fuel consumption and $CO_2$ emissions should double in 25 years. Biojet fuels have been claimed to be one of the most promising and strategic solutions to mitigate aviation emissions. This jet fuel, additionally, must meet ASTM International specifications and potentially be a100% drop-in replacement for current petroleum jet fuel. In this study, the current technologies for producing renewable jet fuels, categorized by alcohols-to-jet, oil-to-jet, syngas-to-jet, and sugar-to-jet pathways are reviewed for process, economic analysis and life cycle assessment (LCA) on conversion pathways to bio-jet fuel.

This study investigates a decomposition analysis of the determinants of the reduced $CO_2$ emissions in seven OECD countries that implemented carbon taxes from 1995 to 2013. Recent studies on decomposition analysis of changes in $CO_2$ emissions focused on technology-based physical factors; however, this study analyzes the effects of a carbon tax as an economic factor. According to the results obtained by using the Log Mean Divisia Index, the energy intensity effect and the carbon tax effect contributed the most towards the reduction of total $CO_2$ emissions in the seven OECD countries. The results for each country show that the emissions decreased due to the energy intensity effect, while the effects of carbon tax and carbon tax revenues differed by policy and environment of the countries.

In this study, greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions from bioenergy (biogas, biomass) have been estimated in Korea, 2015. This study for construction of reduction inventories as direct and indirect reduction sources was derived from IPCC 2006 guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories, guidelines for local government greenhouse inventories published in 2016, also purchased electricity and steam indirect emission factors obtained from KPX, GIR respectively. As a result, the annual GHG reductions were estimated as $1,860,000tonCO_{2eq}$ accounting for 76.8% of direct reduction (scope 1) and 23.2% of indirect reduction (scope 2). Estimation of individual greenhouse gases (GHGs) from biogas appeared that $CO_2$, $CH_4$, $N_2O$ were $90,000tonCO_2$ (5.5%), $55,000tonCH_4$ (94.5%), $0.3tonN_2O$ (0.004%), respectively. In addition, biomass was $250,000tonCO_2$ (107%), $-300tonCH_4$ (-3.2%), $-33tonN_2O$ (-3.9%). For understanding the values of estimation method levels, field data (this study) appeared to be approximately 85.47% compared to installed capacity. In details, biogas and biomass resulting from field data showed to be 76%, 74% compared to installed capacity, respectively. In the comparison of this study and CDM project with GHG reduction unit per year installed capacity, this study showed as 42% level versus CDM project. Scenario analysis of GHG reductions potential from bioenergy was analyzed that generation efficiency, availability and cumulative distribution were significantly effective on reducing GHG.
